The Voice UK - new to ITV Choice - will be broadcast within 24 hours of the UK premiere.
Pop sensation Olly Murs joins will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Jennifer Hudson to complete The Voice UK's panel of superstar coaches as the search for a new vocal talent returns.
Olly – who has notched up four UK No.1 albums and four No.1 singles – will climb into his red chair for the first time when the Blind auditions kick off in Salford.
The Essex lad first found fame on fellow ITV talent show The X Factor, coming second in 2009, and has since gone on to sell more than 17-million records worldwide.
Singer, songwriter, producer and entrepreneur will.i.am returns for his seventh season – the only coach to appear on The Voice UK since the very beginning.

Grammy-, Oscar- and BAFTA-winnng artist Jennifer Hudson returns after winning the 2017 season with her act Mo and fresh from her current stint as a coach on The Voice's US version, the first time a coach has ever appeared on two different versions of the show at the same time.
The singer, movie star and Broadway actress first found fame after her breakout Academy Award-winning performance in Dreamgirls, which followed her finalist-run on American Idol. She went on to make her recording debut with her self-titled album, selling millions of copies worldwide and garnering her first Grammy Award.
Emma Willis again returns to present The Voice UK after completing hosting duties on The Voice Kids in the off-season.
